Therefore, the tools will be installed correctly > regardless of the order of the build: > - if busybox is built first, the clear and reset apps are installed, > but they will be overwritten by ncurses; > - if ncurses is built first, it will install the clear and reset apps, > and busybox will no longer install them. > We prefer not to modify the busybox configuration when not strictly > necessary, because it is surprising for the user that his configuration > is not applied. Clearly, it's not ideal that busybox is configured with > redundant apps, but if the user wants to shrink it, it's possible to > provide a custom config. > This partially reverts commit 33c72344a8686a136c1da6a056ed6c0945bbf8b7. > Cc: Matthew Weber > Cc: Danomi Manchego > Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Committed to 2017.02.x, thanks. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
